LED sidelights

[Rob McCool]

I purchased a set of LED w5w canbus sidelights from autotronic,when I fitted them they worked for a few seconds then went out-autotronic have been very helpfull when I phoned them and they sent me a second set but the results where the same.My car is a 2008 leon, Has anyone else sucessfully fitted a set of LED sidelights to one of these?

 

[leviathan18]

i use the led plus the original w5w as resistor so it wont give error...

Mine did the same, I have a 2008 Cupra.
They come on for a few seconds and then switch off

You could try one of these little plug and play resistor thingeys:

It's designed for LEDs without the 'canbus compatible' extra bits... but might do the trick I guess? (I use this with some MTEC LED sidelights and they work fine.)

My canbus compatible LED sidelights have worked fine from day one in my 07 cupra no problems whatsoever.

Nice one,I`ll get a set when they return from holiday-cheers.

a couple of us seem to think the Can-Bus error can be sorted without using resistors!!!!

On VCDS There is an option to turn OFF Cold Diagnostics on all of the bulbs which we seem to think it will stop the error light coming up and mean you can use normal bulbs

Just need to test this with my HID's when i get home

Also from flea-bay, mine were around £12 about 6 months ago 4 LED's to each light, a quick search and you'll find them.

I got a set of LED sidelights from F1 autosport as robin cur and dazjb69 suggested-brilliant!!-cheers lads.

Are these as easy to install as the DRL bulbs? I've change mine to get rid of the yellow look bulbs but when my zeons are on, there is still a small sidelight that is yellow!

like to see a pic of the led lights working on the front, as i mite considered a set for mine

Yes that what I did about 2yrs ago I have two 15 stack LED, simple's and cheap. ................ [ CAN BUS was not available then!

Im having issues with mine, whenever I start my car it reports left sidelight is out. I then need to turn the lights to off from "auto" then onto Sidelights wait for the light to go off and then put it back on auto

its very odd

i've swapped the bulbs over, same problem

Still no problems with mine but then i ain't got auto lights maybe this throws up more errors from different checks??

I had the same problems with some so called Can-bus friendly ones. In the end I bought a vag-com cable and disabled the cold diagnostics for the lights and it's all good.

think these are the ones i got never had a problem
